"Sammy"

Background: Sammy was born in 1982. His mothered abandoned him at age 4. He went out onto the streets of New York, and soon noticed something odd. Some of the stars seemed to move, and others didn't. Perhaps they weren't stars at all. For Sammy was a certifiable genius. In a week, he had deduced the laws of motion and the inverse square law. By age five he had figured out Mendelian genetics, the valence shell electron pair repulsion model of the atom, and general relativity. By age six, he had deduced the existence of the uncertainty principle, the superego, space-time curvature and pretty much everything else known to modern science. All without any schooling at all. He couldn't even read. At age eight, he chanced upon a battle between a Akashic Brother and a HIT Mark. He gave some thought to it, did some spying, and in a week had deduced the existence of the Ascension War, as well as all the factions involved. The next day, he walked up to the nearest Void Engineer base, and asked to be made a member.

However, he just couldn't deal with it. All of the Technocracy's theories were wrong. Couldn't they tell? The same was true of the Traditions. Pretty soon, the Oracles noticed him. Sammy was too polite to tell that Oracles how wrong they were.

Now, at age 14, no one can decide what to do with him. The Oracles find him an extreme embarassment, as it is hard to accept that a sleeper knows more about the universe than they do. Everyone wants him one their side, but Sammy exists in his own little world. No one knows his motivations, but he wanders around Earth and Umbra, to no apparent end.

Appearance: A 14 year old, he is of medium height, medium weight, and has medium brown hair of medium length. The kind of huy you always miss in a crowd. Wherever, he goes, however, everyone notices something about him. This is a side effect of the Oracles who constantly accompany him, ready to protect him from all threats until they decide if they are going to kill him themselves.

Roleplaying Hints: Sigh. Can't these people just take their own theories to their logical conclusions? They'd see how wrong they are, and then maybe they'd wise up. Awakened, schakened. You're not Awakened, but that hasn't kept you from gaining understanding. All the same, you have bigger fish to fry. The things beyond the Tellurian are waiting to come in, and only you can stop them.

Note: Sammy is not a combatant, so no stats are needed for him. However, his Oracular protectors make him effectively invulnerable. He is obsessed with destroying the Outsiders, and all his actions are calculated to this end. He may ask the characters for help, give them strange bits of advice, or anything else. A great way to get a campaign with the Outsiders going.
